What is the pressure of the mercury column 20 cm high?

Given:
mercury h = 20cm = 0.2m
Find: P =?
Decision:
Mercury in the liquid state => Р = рgh, where р is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity, h is the height of the liquid column Р = 13600 kg / m3 * 10 N / kg * 0.2 m = 27200 Pa
Answer: P = 27200 Pa.
